Question 1. Choose ONE appropriate question in the box to each paragraph below :
1/ How do industry and transport cause pollution ?

2/ How can I help ?
3/ What is the pollution ?
4/ How can industry help ?
5/ What cause pollution ?
6/ What about air pollution ?
A. ___ Pollution is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.
11
B. ___ Mainly industry and transport. If you go to any city, you will see too many factories, too
many cars with not enough people in them, and not enough public transport.
C. ___ Factories and vehicles produce waste which goes into the air and rivers and spreads all over
the land. Poisons in the waste build up over the years and harm trees, plants, animals, and people.
D. ___ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a weak acid. This "acid
rain" can fall far away from the country which produced it, killing trees in forests and fish in lakes and
rivers.
E. ___ If companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the atmosphere, there'll be
much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive and it needs all the world's companies to
do it.
F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use public transport as much as possible. Only use
your car when you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can - lead is one of the most dangerous
ingredients in petrol. Join us, and help us to campaign for cleaner air for everybody.

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying ten
years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation,
and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a
printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the Pennsylvania
Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him to rise from his
poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in
his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies.
In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the
same quiet common sense.
32
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and
lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the
conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including
the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a
fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies. Through this experience
he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he went
to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that
later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he
worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George
Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last
contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators
of the United States.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor
of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes
to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards:
literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years
after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the
interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the
judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No
awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II Some people have won two
prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
1. When did the first award ceremony take place7
A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity.
B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite.
D. To spend money.
3. In which area have Americans received the most awards?

4. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Awards vary in monetary value.
B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D. A few individuals have won two awards.

Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were used. Before printing presses
were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and
hadn’t enough time to learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do
today. They wanted booked because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few people
were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write said ordinary
people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very large and expensive. Business
managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how to use them. In many countries, however, the situation has
now completely changed. Lots of people not only own microcomputer but also know how to use them.

- _______________________________________________________________________________________
2) Why were books wanted before printing presses were invented?
- _______________________________________________________________________________________

A. ___ Pollution is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.

B. ___ Mainly industry and transport. If you go to any city, you will see too

public transport.
C. ___ Factories and vehicles produce waste which goes into the air and rivers
and spreads all over the land. Poisons in the waste build up over the years and harm
trees, plants, animals, and people.
100
D. ___ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a
weak acid. This "acid rain" can fall far away from the country which produced it,
killing trees in forests and fish in lakes and rivers.
E. ___ If companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the
atmosphere, there'll be much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be
expensive and it needs all the world's companies to do it.
F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use public transport as
much as possible. Only use your car when you really need to, and use unleaded

and help us to campaign for cleaner air for everybody.
